Distillation is the most widely used separation process in the chemical industries. The separation of mixtures by distillation depends on the relative volatilities between the components. The greater the relative volatilities, the easier the separation. DME can be used as an alternative raw material when it is converted to gasoline. The DME is converted to gasoline range hydrocarbons over a zeolite catalyst. In the gasoline production reaction, some reactions cause unwanted components which may…

Chemical Industry is one of the oldest and largest industries in the world, forming the backbone for many other downstream industries. It produces products and materials, 70% of which forms the input for other industries like Agriculture, Automobile, plastic, textiles, petroleum refining, primary metal and chemical industry itself which consumes 26% of its own output. Rest of the production is consumed directly in form of detergent, soap, perfumes and other consumer goods. The global chemical…

technology. Of the two main fossils fuels used, natural gas offers the best economics and efficiencies and is the main pathway used to generate hydrogen nowadays, mainly for the production of ammonia and methanol. The other, being coal, can also be used to produce hydrogen but the initial investment is much greater and the efficiency is lower compared to when natural gas is used. Coal can be economically favourable when compared with natural gas for its lower feedstock cost [$1.26 per GJ LHV…

Introduction: British petroleum is one of the world’s largest firms that deal with discovering and extracting oil, refining oil, and selling oil and gas. Since, these products are supposed to be provided to certain many consumers around the globe therefore, it incorporate with many people in the diverse societies along with the many of the diverse organizations with which it works. These incorporations require maintaining several many ethical and societal issues in relation to both the people…

Carbon dioxide is emitted through many means, both naturally and by different human activities. Plants play a crucial role in limiting the abundance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In general, photosynthesis can be explained by the following formula: 6CO2 + 6H20 + ATP → C6H1206 + 602. Using the carbon dioxide present in their environment, water from their roots, and energy from sunlight, a plant is able to continue to grow and conduct cellular respiration through this process. But how…

Climate change is an occurring worldwide epidemic affecting nations across the globe. In the two articles chosen, both describe different viewpoints on the issue, both with the same consequences at hand. In the article, Point: Climate Change is a Proven Fact, written by Melanie Lambrick and Richard Renneboog, climate change is explained as a result of manmade activities that have created many global consequences. In contrast, the second article, Counterpoint: Climate Change Occurs Naturally and…

History Speech – Coal Seam Gas Introduction: (Intro to CSG/What are the two sides?) Good morning, I am here to advise you on the coal seam gas development and the issues surrounding it. Now what, what is Coal seam gas. Well coal seam gas also commonly known as CSG is a natural gas that is produced and trapped underground by water and ground pressure. The gas is harvested and extracted by drilling vertically into the ground, until a gas deposit is reached. The suppliers of CSG earns millions…

What Rachel Carson’s position would be on the debate on the existence of climate change Rachel Carson was very concerned about the relation of human beings and nature – the environment; she believed that the actions human beings and things that they released to the environment had a long-lasting effect on nature that could be determinantal to generations to come. This was her greatest idea and one that has clearly not been reflected in the current-day debate on climate change especially by…

This informative article by Lutz Kilian discusses shale oil and its effect on oil prices in the United States. Shale oil is a term used by the oil industry for oil that is obtained from low-permeability rock, and it has caused a resurgence of oil production in the United States. This type of oil production was not available until quite recently, because of several technological advances in the industry. Currently, shale oil production, mostly from western states, accounts for a sizeable amount…

In today’s society, climate change is an indisputable fact. While a multitude of individuals disagree over the extent to which it is induced by humans, climate change is a real threat to all inhabitants of planet Earth Joseph F. C. DiMento and Pamela Doughman co-authored the book Climate Change: What It Means for Us, Our Children, and Our Grandchild which discusses the severity of climate change. In the introduction “Introduction: Making Climate Change Understandable,” the authors explain the…
